Sean Spicer sarcastically asks if Trump should answer wiretap questions and immediately regrets it

Sean Spicer sarcastically asks if Trump should answer wiretap questions — and immediately regrets it



“Is it possible that we could see the president for a more general multi-question news conference,” Real Clear Politics reporter Alexis Simendinger asked Spicer at Wednesday’s briefing. “He’s been a little press shy this week, from North Korea to health care selling to CIA leaks. We’d like to talk to him. Can we see him for a news conference?”

“I will ask… Is there anyone else?” Spicer asked sarcastically. “Show of hands?”

Spicer’s quip was met with a nearly unanimous response from the press corp.

“I appreciate [that],” Spicer said. “I’d be glad to ask the president, [to] share your request with him and see what we can do on the schedule. But you know that he is very busy these days, he has done a lot of [photo] sprays, and he will continue to interact with you guys. But I would be glad to make your request known.”

3. I'm not sure what 'busy' means, either. Golfing? Running away from Washington? Going to rallies?
